A Review of Mathematical Modelling Methods for Bovine Hormone Dynamics.

This paper explores various approaches to modeling the bovine estrus cycle, focusing on improving estrus detection to enhance reproductive management in dairy cattle. The review examines a range of mathematical models, including hormonal models based on ordinary differential equations (ODEs) that simulate hormone dynamics, as well as follicular competition models that track the maturation of individual follicles. In addition to these, Precision Dairy Monitoring Technologies (PDMT) are discussed, which utilize real-time physiological and behavioral data to provide predictive insights into estrus.

Midwife-led birthing centre in the humanitarian setup: An experience from the Rohingya camp, Bangladesh.

In Bangladesh, Midwife Led Birthing Centres (MLBCs) have been established to provide midwifery care and sexual and reproductive health services for the displaced Rohingya population in Cox's Bazar. The aim of this study was to explore MLBCs in this humanitarian context from the perspectives of women, midwives, and other key stakeholders. A mixed-method case study was conducted at one of the MLBCs within the Rohingya refugee camps in Cox's Bazar.

Language in job advertisements and the reproduction of labor force gender and racial segregation.

Job advertisements (ads) represent the first point of contact between employers and job seekers. By signaling characteristics expected of an ideal candidate, job ads "gatekeep" the labor force and configure its composition. Meanwhile, labor force composition can also shape the wording of job ads.

Assessing the Association Between Animal Color and Behavior: A Meta-Analysis of Experimental Studies.

Color varies in pattern and degree across the tree of life. In animals, genetic variation in color is hypothesized to have pleiotropic effects on a variety of behaviors due to shared dependence on underlying biochemical pathways. Such pleiotropy can constrain the independent evolution of color and behavior.
